That's exactly my problem. I have to use this Linux POS to get the job
done and I feel bad about it. I've loved OpenBSD for years but it can't
do what I need in a PC for my daily driver....I'm pissed because I can't
contribute to helping the issue either so I should probably just shut up
and do what I need to do. Eh...it works for now...maybe it'll change in
the future.

The version of OpenBSD doesn't matter ;) I've been running it since
2.8 and am running current today as a server....which is what I want
to change. Look, do you know how to run virtualization software like
virtualbox or to have qemu do what I need (run java in an XP guest) ?
If you can't, then let's let others answer my question.
My initial thought is that you're screwed. Virtualization is expensive,
difficult, and just never going to be all that quick under OpenBSD. At
least until someone really does horrible things to the OpenBSD kernel to
make that work.
Sure, you could do:
OpenBSD -> kQemu -> WinXP -> JVM -> jApp.
But wouldn't:
OpenBSD -> JVM -> jApp be faster?
Depending on the app, there's a variety of reasons for wanting the XP
VM. I get that. It's also just not going to perform all that well.
Pretty much to the point of utter failure or uselessness.
